      Trump has already threatened his family. It’s a privilege to fight for your ideals when you get to stay anonymous and not have your loved ones directly targeted by powerful people, you don’t have to face the same kind of consequences. I can’t really blame him for not wanting his wife and kids in immediate danger.

        No. It is his privilege to abandon ideals at the whims of capital.

          Would you put your children in front of a firing squad just to say “Well I at least stand firm in my ideals”?

            You are here presenting the situation as if it was a sudden development, rather than a known risk from the start. You are also presenting it as a definite certainty.
            Neither of these presentations are correct.

            If he believed in his ideals he would’ve finished this months ago and actually arrested trump instead of using it as a campaign talking point then giving up

              Time it on the day of his withdrawal for maximum effect.

              I will no longer be seeking reelection, which leaves me free to do what the QAnon people always wanted — military tribunal time! biden-rember

            My child is already in danger due to the dictatorship of capital. I don’t get the luxury or privilege of making a minor work decision to save them.

              You neatly sidestepped the question. Capitol puts everyone in danger, that isn’t special. Would you do the special honors of placing your child in front of a firing squad if it meant you could say that you stood firm in your ideals?

                  I’m ignoring them because aren’t good faith? I didn’t say “Jack Smith is literally in this situation”, I’m just pointing out how easy it is for armchair revolutionaries to snear from the sidelines when it’s not their necks on the line.

                    That you dislike an answer does not make it bad faith

        I can. Don’t take on the gig of prosecuting a powerful politician who might become president if you aren’t in a position where you’re comfortable with having you and yours threatened. It’s like the cop excuse of being in a “stressful situation”. Don’t take the job then!

          Like the anonymous Jane Doe lawsuit from the woman who wasremovedd by Trump when she was 14? She dropped it after numerous threats from Trump and her supporters and I don’t blame her at all. I don’t expect Jane Doe to put her and her families life on the line either.
